Colt Ford and Clint Black have been announced as the entertainers at this year’s Southeastern Livestock Exposition (SLE) Rodeo to be held March 8-10 at the Garrett Coliseum in Montgomery. Ford will perform Friday night and Black will perform Saturday night. Each concert will be held following the rodeo inside the Coliseum.

"We’re really excited about bringing Colt Ford and Clint Black to the SLE Rodeo. Folks you hear on the radio every day will be right here in Montgomery on a big stage in the Coliseum arena on Friday and Saturday night. That’s a big deal for us and we think it’s a big deal for Montgomery, too," said Camp Powers, President of the SLE.

All tickets for Friday and Saturday nights will be $22. All Friday and Saturday night rodeo attendees will be admitted free to the concerts with their rodeo tickets. These concerts are due to a sponsorship agreement between the SLE and PCI Gaming. Tickets for Thursday night and the Saturday matinee are priced at $19 for adults and $9 for children.

"More than once, we’ve tried to host entertainers at the SLE Rodeo, but just weren’t happy with the result. Thanks to PCI Gaming, we’re bringing in Colt Ford and Clint Black on a stage in the Coliseum after the rodeo. Coupling that with the IPRA National All-Region Finals Rodeo is exciting for rodeo fans and the SLE," said Dr. Billy Powell, Executive Director of the SLE.

Tickets for all four performances are now available online through Ticketmaster or by calling 1-888-2RODEO2. Also, rodeo fans can buy their tickets in person at Alabama Cattlemen’s Association’s headquarters building or from Garrett Coliseum the week of the rodeo.
